The case
The video that, presumably, was recorded last Sunday, August 20, in the checkpoint three of Fuerte Tiuna, in the city of Caracas, came to light last Tuesday.
The official, wearing the uniform of the Bolivarian Army, received 20 dollars in cash from the driver after requesting “support”.
Given this situation, the Attorney General decided to comment on the matter through his account on the social network Twitter, publishing the following:
MinpublicoVEN initiated #investigation, against #Official who demanded a payment in dollars from a driver to return his personal documents that he had previously requested when said citizen stopped at a #Alcabala
